Relationships
Courses offered at the Personal Development Centre in the area of stress management, assertiveness, anger, grief, depression and anxiety; assist us in our relationships because they help us to understand the impact of our actions in relationships. |

Psychotherapy & Individual Counselling
Taboos, once associated with seeking the assistance of a therapist, are fast evaporating and many of us are now less reluctant to obtain professional assistance for personal problems we may be experiencing. |
|
Stress Management
Sometimes, people need to look at the positive events rather than the negative factors in their lives. Negative thoughts only breed more negative thoughts and can result in a vicious cycle. So, in some ways, a person can “think” themselves well and be able to manage stress more constructively. |
|
Understanding Anxiety
In our present day society, we perform a juggling act between work, family, friends and community activities as noted in our calendars and appointment books. Many then experience tension, worry, chronic stress, low self-esteem and the blues. |

Mental Health Tips
|
 |
|
|
Make yourself happy or make yourself miserable. The choice is often yours. If you want to make yourself miserable, simply continue to practice the following principles: “Cry over spilt milk”, worry about the future, tell yourself that things must happen the way you want them to, leave things unfinished and unspoken, blame others for your feelings and failings, assume that what the “crowd” says must be true and always take on responsibility for the emotional welfare of others. If all this does not appeal to you (we’re hoping it doesn’t), take a look at alternative principles offered in our section entitled Tips for Achieving and Keeping More Mentally Healthy .
